Part of a suite of market-leading test tools
The FedNow testing solution is an orchestrated version of our t3 virtualized test platform. t3 is used extensively by financial institutions around the world, each benefiting from more control, reduced implementation costs and greater confidence in their innovation projects.
The t3 platform can virtualize an organization’s entire payments infrastructure in a single browser-based platform, including virtualizing FedNow, Fedwire, TCH RTP, Card auths, Open API, etc. This means a financial institution using the platform can extend the solution to support broader payments testing across its organization.
